Greetings and farewells in a text message &amp; irregular verbs: geben/lesen/sehen, modal particle 'aber'.
Paul is chatting with Laura again. This time he is not so clumsy. He invites her to his housewarming party, and she accepts the invitation. But Paul is unsure: Should he also invite Tim? Maybe Anna wouldn't like that ...
<h4>Our characters DON'T speak at a regular speed, just like native speakers among themselves. Why?</h4>
They speak natural German. But we put in countless hours of work to direct every voice actor so that he or she speaks a bit slower and more clearly, adapted to the language level. You can always speed up the audio in the app. We believe this is the better way. Just as we believe that at the beginning, training wheels teach a child to ride a bike better than bruises from falls.

غَالِبًا السوشال ميديا بْتِعْرِض أَشْيَاء مْفَلْتَرَة مِن الحَيَاة, لأنو الناس بِيشَارْكُوا الأَحْدَاث المُهِمِّة بَس.
وهَاد الشِي بْيِعْكِس صُورَة مِثَالِيِّة لحَيَاة بَعْض النَاس اللي هي عَكْس الصُورَة الحَقِيقِية.
بَس كَمَان هَالشِي بِسَبِّب ضَغْط عَالِي على هَدُول الأَشْخَاص لأنو لازم يِطْلَعُوا دَائِمًا بِصُورَة مِثَالِيِّة.
بِالمُقَابِل, فِي أَشْخَاص تَانِيين بِيقَارْنُوا حَيَاتْهُم مَع حَيَاة هَدُول الأَشْخَاص. 
بَس لِلْأَسَف هَي المُقَارَنِة ممكن تْأَدِّي للشُعُور بِالإِكْتِئَاب.
لازم نِتْزَكَّر دَائِمًا إِنُّو الأشياء اللي مِنْشُوفْهَا على السوشال ميديا ما بِتْكُون الصُورَة الكَامْلِة, وكِل إِنْسَان عِنْدُو مَشَاكِل بِالحَيَاة والحَيَاة المَثَالِيِّة مَا مَوجُودِة!
Mostly social media shows filtered things from life, because people share only the important events.
And this reflects a perfect image of the life of some people which is the opposite of the real image.
But also this thing causes high pressure on these people because they always have to appear in a perfect image.
In contrast, there are other people who compare their life with the life of those people.
But unfortunately, this comparison can lead to the feeling of depression.
We should always remember that the things that we see on social media are not the full picture, and every human has problems in life, and the perfect life does not exist.
